In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Fusion Directory on your Elementary OS. Fusion Directory is a web-based tool that allows you to manage users, groups, and other directory objects in an LDAP directory.
Before installing Fusion Directory on Elementary OS, make sure you have the following:
Before installing any new software or package, it is essential to update the system's package list and upgrade any existing packages. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Fusion Directory has some dependencies that need to be installed before starting the installation process. Run the following command to install the required packages:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php php-ldap php-mbstring php-zip php-curl samba smbclient ldap-utils db-util sudo
You can download the latest version of Fusion Directory by visiting their official website at https://www.fusiondirectory.org/. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the latest version of Fusion Directory:

The installation process may take some time, depending on your system specifications.
After successfully installing Fusion Directory, you need to configure it. You can use the following command to configure Fusion Directory:
